In this age of carefully scripted press releases, cultivated images and online scrutiny Bülent Gürler is a bit of an oddity. For when you speak to the German electronic music maestro you truly get the sense that you could ask him any question no matter how personal or revealing and get a genuine response.

Better known by his stage name of Butch here is a man with a brutish moniker conceals a deep yearning to explore new artistic soundscapes exemplified by the variation in his material. Constantly evolving, we caught up with the ever so slightly maverick German just as he was in the middle of getting changed on his return from the beach. Upon realizing we hadn’t gone into the wrong skype conversation with a naked man we proceeded to find out more about Butch penchant for change, problems he identifies within house and his plans for the future via his new imprint OtherSide and as yet unnamed band.
